I’ve noticed that when using ant to build and sign an apk file, the password for the key store is ignored. I am prompted twice for a password, once for the keystore:
-release-prompt-for-password:
and once for my alias:
[input] Please enter password for alias 'myAlias':
It is the alias password which is ignored. I can enter anything without being informed of an error and ant reports that the build was successful. I can successfully install the resulting apk.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance…
I’ve solved the problem – the keystore password and alias password were identical. This seemed to allow the signing process using ant to pass when entering the wrong password for the alias.
If I make the passwords differ, the build process does indeed fail if the wrong alias password is entered.
